Cell phones and food

Is it ever ok to talk on a cell phone while at a casual dining place? How about a coffee shop? What if I'm alone at a table in Starbucks? Do you think that's acceptable? How would that be different than if I were having a conversation with someone in person?

Summer is in full swing, which (hopefully) means trips to the park or the beach. If you’re taking a picnic along, you should know a few food safety rules so you can pack, transport, and eat your meal without the threat of food poisoning. Liz Weinandy
